So should we also discuss how Hoiberg failed in the NBA? Hell Matt A couldn’t recruit a guy good enough to get St Johns a national championship. AND GATES! Holy cow man. He was on the LOWLY Tim Miles staff. We just need to clean house I think. Our entire staff has warts! Off with em all! I want Coach K with Self, Cal, and Williams as the three assistants. Actually... no... not one of those guys won the dang natty this year. It’s hopeless to find a good coach and staff I tell you! Hopeless!

Mack, Green, Burke, Harris isn't a bad group of guards at all. That's a group that can compete next year.

Series change this weekend. 1 game Friday at Noon. Doubleheader Saturday at 2 PM

I don't think it's weird. There are quite a few reasons why he might take this step. Money is an obvious one. Another could be that he has worked under Hoiberg before. He might want to take on a smaller role. Plus... as you have said... he loves and has always loved Nebraska. That going away presser was one of the hardest I have ever seen.

Post of the week!

You are correct. From how I understand it, once your name is in the "portal" anyone can reach out to you.

Thanks! It’s nice to see a different perspective from what is probably a different source near the athletic department. I certainly do hope that you’re right. I want to win more than anyone. I just want to do it the right way. That’s always something that we’ve prided ourself on it can be done. As I have said before, I have not heard or seen anything about Matt A being under investigation or involved with the FBI. But as multiple posters stated, have heard he might have “toed the line” at times. What that means and whether it was all legal, I don’t know.

I still got the ol' pull the shirt over my knees to stretch it out a bit trick.

Yes. Through twitter this evening. I will see if I can find the tweet.

I think I have a "Someone call the Doc-tor" shirt deep down in the drawers somewhere.

One thing that Doc did do well was game plan as well. I remember that we had some solid game plans back then. We just didn't have the horses to compete at times.

I took @cipsucks post as more of a "it doesn't matter what color you are, walking down the streets of Omaha is dangerous for almost anyone." That's one of the problems with bringing up politics on this board. Everything these days is viewed through a microscopic lens when it comes to situations and stories like this. Whether the Creighton player wanted it to be or not... the post is political because that is the environment that we currently live in. That is the way that our current climate is.

This would be very cool. I loved Doc and man could his teams play D. One of my favorite Nebraska teams was the "smallest team in D1" team.

Do I know how twitter works? Yes. Why did I post it? Because I saw the tweet and shared it on a Nebraska basketball message board. The tweet was about Nebraska. I didn't say anything negative about Matt at all. I said it was a little worrying that #fbi was in there and that I hope we don't go down that hole. That's still the case. I hope we don't go down that hole.

Correct

Haven't seen or heard anything about the FBI getting involved with Matt, St. Johns, or us. Just saw the #fbi in this tweet and from what I know about he is perceived on the recruiting trail. Like I said in that post, hopefully it was just someone being jealous.

Let's just say that I knew Marc was going to be stepping back. @Norm Peterson post about us being clean was on the right track as to why Marc might be stepping back. My source let me know a few days before the news broke, but wanted me to remain silent until it became public. Some people aren't happy with the hire of Abdelmassih and were against him being hired onto staff. Hopefully what I am hearing about him and how he is perceived in the recruiting world is moot and overblown. I would never wish ill on my Huskers. So my source knew of the impending Boehm news before it broke publicly. I will continue to share, as I have said, what I can and when. You can like it, dismiss it, laugh at it, be upset with it... I don't care.

Funny. If I truly took offense to anything I perceived as negative, I would reply to most all of your posts. I haven't in quite some time actually.

We've only lost one midweek game... against a team that is nearly 20 spots better than us in the RPI... Not sure where you're going with "midweek is the difference? Did we never lose a midweek game when we were "rolling?"

This and the fact that we're playing baseball here. Going 2/3 every week is a good indication of a team that is decent. We're going to lose games every now and then. That's just part of baseball. Last night was a loss by committee as we made some mental errors and bats were cold. That happens sometimes.

Bats are iccccceeeee cold.

Replay can be used to go frame by frame and see a ball possibly graze a pinky, but can’t be used to call an abvious foul or obvious no foul. Replay ruined this game.

Ask and ye shall receive!

As of this morning, Creighton is #26... just dropped from #25. Nebraska jumped from #46 to #40.
